The push-me-pull-you Prime Minister has changed direction again.

Sir Keir Starmer, the human rights lawyer who wrote the handbook on how the European Convention on Human Rights would work in UK law, has called for reforms to the system he has advocated for for so long.

Reverend Starmer is telling ECHR bureaucrats to stop inhibiting nation states ability to deport foreign criminals, not to protect the public or hand liberty back to citizens, but to stop the fictitious far right.

Who are these dangerous, far right extremists advocating leaving the ECHR? Well, they’re Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage.

The legal framework the Prime Minister once defended as fundamental to British law, he now presents as an obstacle policy, as he previously believed to be far right.

He is now advocating as a means to fulfil voters desires to curb illegal migration, including allowing departures to third countries, which would have included the Rwanda scheme, which you may remember Labour abolished as soon as it came into office.

The Prime Minister now is in power and trying to implement domestic policies seems to consider the ECHR as simultaneously indispensable and obstructive, depending on the current political mood.

But the fact remains, despite the Prime Minister’s globalist ambitions for Britain, that the ECHR will not be reformed.

It is an undemocratic, bureaucratic and supranational organisation built on legal frameworks designed to accrete power to itself.

We just need to leave the ECHR. Straightforwardly, pull out to regain control of our borders and sovereignty, to make our own laws.

A nation cannot be properly governed by a system that has no Parliament to legislate for it, and no electorate to hold it to account.

Leadership needs clarity and principle – something Keir Starmer is failing to show.

BRITAIN’S MIGRANT CRISIS – READ THE LATEST:

• ‘We’re in the dark!’ MP backs locals over plans to house HUNDREDS of migrants in leafy town
• French presidential frontrunner eyeing up ‘major break’ after ‘teaming up’ with Nigel Farage
• Crowborough residents take legal action against Home Office decision to house migrants in army base

Attempting to preserve allegiance to an international treaty whilst challenging its rules on domestic policy, achieves neither.

The Prime Minister’s declaration that the ECHR needs to stop obstructing deportations, stop the so-called far right, illustrates that the government has no direction.

There is nothing far right about wanting democratically elected politicians and bodies to govern the nation.

The Prime Minister has repeatedly promised to stop the boats, but he hasn’t. They’ve gone to their highest level ever.

The bureaucratic utopia that Keir Starmer, the human rights lawyer, so emphatically believed in, has become the main obstruction to the aims of Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister.

The push-me-pull-you Prime Minister, it’s time to accept reality.

Accept that the ECHR will not be reformed and just leave.

It’s the only way this country, the United Kingdom, will be able to govern itself once more.
